Biography

PERSONAL INFORMATION
Majoring in Nursing.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? Wine studies 101 because it was refreshing to feel academically challenged in a topic outside of my regular nursing classes.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? My mother has and will always be my biggest inspiration alongside my faith in God.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… I've learned to not always assume you know how the game will go and to be prepared for any new challenge and give it your best.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… My goal individually is to push myself to be more connected with my team and I hope collectively we can appreciate each other’s strengths and uplift one another instead of silently judging.
